Mailed the return for last year about 360 days ago...still no return. The funny thing is that my state tax return went out on the same day, and in ten weeks...the refund check came. As far as I can see...there must be half of the IRS staff that does home-office and hasn’t accomplished much of anything in twelve months.
If I ever get a refund more than a few hundred dollars I hate myself for not modifying mine or my wife’s W-4 correctly to keep from giving the gubment a free loan.
At the beginning of the tax season the IRS announced that it had 24,000,000 pieces of unopened mail. That’s 24 Million, with an M. I have not seen an update since then. It’s amazing that ANYBODY paper-mails their return, even if you don’t complain about not getting a refund yet.
I haven’t gotten my 2020 refund either. I’m feeling pretty resentful.
